Anyone who has been to Vietnam knows that motorbike taxis are considered a "specialty" of the streets because after a few steps you can see drivers waiting for passengers. For that reason, Culture Trip has included "motorbike taxi" in the list of typical experiences in the S-shaped land. However, this travel site also advises visitors to negotiate the price in advance to avoid being "ripped off".
For those who feel that motorbike taxis are a bit dangerous, Culture Trip offers a suggestion for tourists to experience cyclo when coming to Vietnam. This popular means of transport is available in all major tourist destinations such as Hanoi, Hue, Da Nang, Ho Chi Minh City... Using this means of transport, you will have the opportunity to "chat" for a long time with cyclo "drivers", who know well about the "places to eat and play" in the locality.
Although Ha Long Bay (Quang Ninh) is a popular destination for foreign visitors to Vietnam with familiar activities such as bay cruise tours, exploring islands and caves, according to Culture Trip, the most interesting experience here is kayaking.

When coming to Central Vietnam, tourists must visit Hoi An - a place awarded the title of "World Heritage" by UNESCO. Culture Trip describes the ancient town with the phrase "timeless charm".

Culture Trip also suggests tourists join a cooking class to learn more about the local culinary culture.
